I called my only close family member (my sister) at lunch, but she lives a state away. We talked which was great but now I feel even lonelier and more depressed. I texted my pastor friend and we are going to meet to talk tomorrow. I have my therapist on call at night and on weekends if i am in crisis, which I am not.
I look around my one room living space and the walls feel like they are getting tighter every moment. I despise night. I hate loneliness and depression.
Does anyone have any advice or help?
Is there any kindness out there?
Please.

I'm so sorry that you are feeling so depressed and lonely. I will say that when you are sick, it takes a toll also on us psychologically but it does go away. All of your energy has been getting over the stomach flu and it can deplete every aspect of your body including your brain. I'm so glad that you have people you can talk to, even if it's on the phone. I'm glad that you are also meeting with your pastor! Hang in there! You have tons of support here and EVERYONE here gets it! Hugs
